Not a person in this bar was under the age of sixty and, we feel certain, none of them live beyond walking distance.
It has the most basic beer and alcohol selection: two draft beers and no liquor beyond the Jameson’s/Tanqueray range. It’s pretty much a home bar set up, really. The bartender has an office chair behind the bar that he lounges in when not serving drinks. The place looks and feels like a cross between an Elks Lodge and a cheap hotel bar from the 1950s.
Having said all of that, it was utterly charming. Go ahead and picture a grandmother (yours, if she’s the type; J’s, if not) sitting on a barstool, drinking her High Life out of a tiny glass, smoking a Lucky Strike, sharing stories about what the neighborhood used to be like. That’s this bar.
They’ve got a limited bar food menu listed on a peg letter board that has likely never been changed: Ruebens, hamburgers, fried things. Much like the booze selection, it’s nothing fancy.
It might not be our scene right now, but, man, we are already thinking about retiring in Greenfield just so that we can make this our regular spot. We are already warming up our stories about how things used to be, and shaking our heads at those darn kids.
